Afterpay Afterpay is an Australian digital payment platform in which a bought product can be paid off in four installments. This idea made in 2008 by a then eighteen-year-old Nick Molnar was geared towards millennials and inspired by the aftermath of the 2008 Global Financial Crisis. Molnar and Partner/ Co-founder Anthony Eisen launched their platform in 2014 and in four years their product reached a market capitalization of around $3.3 billion dollars. In February 2020, Afterpay was reported to have 3.6 million active customers in the US, 3.1 million in Australia and New Zealand, and 600,000 in the UK. In August 2021, Afterpay and Square announced that Afterpay would be acquired by Square. Block paid US$29 billion in stock for the acquisition and the process was finalized in January 2022. Although Afterpay is now owned by Block inc., Molnar and Eisen still spearhead Afterpay’s merchant and consumer businesses. Weebly Weebly is a web hosting service. Weebly
